Introducing suitable features in the scribble-based foreground-background (Fg/Bg) segmentation problem is crucial. In many cases, the object of interest has different regions with different color modalities. The same applies to a non-uniform background. Fg/Bg color modalities can even overlap when the appearance is solely modeled using color spaces like RGB or Lab. In this paper, we purposefull...

We present an approach to tracking multiple human subjects within a camera network. A particle filter framework is used in which we combine foreground-background subtraction with a novel approach to texture learning and likelihood computation based on an ellipsoid model. As there are inevitable problems with multiple subjects due to occlusion and crossing, we include a robust method to suppress...

View synthesis is an efficient solution to produce content for 3DTV and FTV. However, proper handling of the disocclusions is a major challenge in the view synthesis. Inpainting methods offer solutions for handling disocclusions, though limitations in foreground-background classification causes the holes to be filled with inconsistent textures. Moreover, the state-of-the art methods fail to ide...

Recent analyses of the WMAP data have suggested that the low order multipoles of the CMB anisotropy distribution show cosmologically interesting and unexpected morphologies and amplitudes. In this paper, we apply a power equalization (PE) filter to the high latitude WMAP data in order to reconstruct these low-l multipoles free from the largest Galactic foreground modelling uncertainties in the ...
